Oh, gross! I'm sorry but not only was that a mediocre movie she is really not my type. I've sorta sworn off sex altogether, though, in an experiment to see if I can focus my sexual energies on increasing my mental capacity and learning abilities.

I think a side effect is being naive sometimes and taking things too literally, but I haven't explored that hypothesis to a final conclusion yet...too many other things to do like respond to trolls on the internet.

muck4doo:jonathan_L: muck4doo: jonathan_L: muck4doo: Thanks for the answer. My son is going to graduate from Baylor next month, and is in the Army ROTC(was originally in Air Force ROTC, but funding got cut). They've had him studying Russian for four years.

Is he good with languages? Another 1 or 2 languages under his belt will really help him.

Yes, he is. I'm sure not. He speaks English, Russian, and Spanish.

If he has time/inclination, I'd suggest he also look into Farsi/Persian or one of the Afghan languages.

Knowing him, he would love that. I'm Mexican(raised in CA), his mom is half Jewish/half Italian. He speaks better Spanish than I do.

Best of luck to him! And thank him for his service should he continue in the Army.

The Life Of Brian:WHY does CNN keep saying the police are calling for a Russian translator??

Heard nothing like that on the scanner..and the suspect speaks fluent english/been in country & went to highschool for years!

His native language is Russian. He may speak fluent English but at a super stressful time like this, it's better to talk to him in his native language. Also, I think they have his father in Russia on the phone.

The department at my alma mater where Polish language/culture studies are located:

Welcome to Slavic Languages and Literatures. Our faculty specialize in Eastern European Literatures and Cultures, including focus on cinema, architecture, and the visual arts. The cultures we cover include Russian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, and Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian; we also have strong interest in Judaic, Central Asian, Baltic, and Balkan cultures (including Greek and Albanian).

have a cookie, grandpa. Matlock will be on in a bit, I promise.

Yeah, I'd be too embarrassed to argue if I were you, too.

Yup, you're certainly not a Farker...

I sure as hell am - didn't I just say I loved Farkers? I'm just not one of the ones with an all-knowing crystal ball.

You lost your crystal bullshiat ball? Better call Drew and get a replacement quickly before you start to act reasonably

zabadu:Why do all the news stations find people to say "he was such a nice guy"..."I would never have thought it was him"..."he was so sweet"...no one farking cares. He's a killer now. Who cares what he "was" because he obviously wasn't.

They're trying to get all the nice kids rounded up for re-education, so they can bring us only the news that makes us not want to live on this planet anymore.

No doubt the other 99.9% of Muslims who are "peaceful" (lol) will finally call upon that last .1% to stop the killing of innocents. Muslims will probably hold candlelight vigils in honor of the victims. Cue the press "releasing" pictures of peaceful muslims in the middle east holding up signs (in perfect english) which say things like "Iranians hearts go out to Boston" etc for the liberal sheeple.

phyrkrakr:Hey, instead of beating the Islam/Teabagger drums, how about a different conspiracy? These guys are from Chechnya, right? Any way we can tie them into the Boris Berezovsky thing in London? Berezovsky supposedly had some ties to the underworld over there.

That's his plan. Going to graduate and go into the Army as a 2nd Lieutenant. He's proven to be a lot smarter than I ever was when planning life than I was at his age.
